Sink repair in Winton, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Winton as everywhere else we work.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Winton
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you cover the entire of Salford?
All of Salford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
